There's a rising star in the ranks of the DC Universe's writers.

We really don't have too many details on this one, but DC Comics has just announced the Teen Titans series will have a new writer later this year. Outside of the ballpark timing of "late 2010," we don't know more on release dates. We also don't know the artist assigned to this new creative direction. The writer taking control of DC's teenagers? J.T. Krul.

DC's blog published a quick comment from Krul. Check that out below:

"To say I am thrilled to be writing Teen Titans would be the ultimate understatement. They are one of the premiere teams in all of comics and have a rich pedigree of incredible stories by amazing creators. To be able to add to that heritage is an honor in every respect. Although I've written this family of characters before, the Teen Titans were either dealing the horrors of dead friends and foes coming back to haunt them, coping with dissolving team ranks, or suffering from the utter despair over losing limbs and loved ones. I'm eager to get the chance to tell brighter stories that build the team up stronger than ever - Titans Together!"

That's about all we have at the moment. Krul takes over from Felicia D. Henderson, who took over the series with issue #75, which hit stores September 2009. Krul is also writing the new Green Arrow series, which debuts on June 23. Stay tuned to IGN for more details as we hear them.
